Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 123-121 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons: – As hard as it might be, put aside the loss and Erik Spoelstra’s gaffe for a moment. – Jimmy Butler’s team? – Bam Adebayo’s team? – That was then. – Tyler Herro is now. – With Tuesday night in Detroit leaving little doubt. – That contract extension that had been so questioned. – Value contract? – Hard to disagree at the moment. – At the end of Tuesday night’s fourth quarter he simply took over. – Even with the missed shot at the end of regulation. – The points. – The assists. – The completeness of the offensive performance. – Even four steals. – At the moment, he is it. – This was elite. – Even in defeat. – A loss through no fault of his own. – And when Butler comes back, an argument could be made that Herro still should be the focus. – An effort so competitive and so complete. – Even in defeat. – With Butler (ankle) again sidelined, the Heat opened for the second consecutive game with Adebayo, Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith, Herro and Terry Rozier. – With Tuesday’s start, Adebayo tied Rony Seikaly for fifth on the Heat all-time list for games started. – Spoelstra remained noncommittal about the lineup approach going forward. – “At this point we’re not there yet,” he said of having something concrete.
